Notes
• The histogram is always based on the brightness displayed;
depending on the settings used, it may not represent the final
exposure.
• In shooting mode, the histogram should be regarded as a "trend
indicator".
• The histogram during rendering may differ slightly from the one
during exposure.
• The Histogram always refers to the currently displayed cropped
section of the image.
WAVEFORM MONITOR (WFM)
The Waveform Monitor (WFM) allows a quick and safe assessment
of the luminance and color distribution within the current scene.
Image faults become more easily apparent, which might otherwise
be missed while recording with a smaller screen.

Waveform Monitor
The Waveform Monitor displays the luminance distribution for the
entire visible image as a percentage (IRE). A value of 0% corre-
sponds to a luminance value of 16 (in 8-bit encoding), while a value
of 100% corresponds to a luminance value of 235 (in 8-bit encod-
ing).
The visualization displays solid lines at 0%, 50%, and 100%. The dot-
ted lines below them represent the values 109% and -4%.
